HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 c151W
54. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he intends to take to increase the rate of house building in the public sector.

Mr. Channon

Local authorities are free to build all the houses they think necessary to meet the needs of their area. The Government put no obstacle in their way, and I am anxious that all local authorities which need to build do so.
